The object of the invention is to provide a cheap and neat pencil andpen holding attachment for use in conjunction with tablets and books. Inillustrating a specific form thereof is adhered to, but to this form theinvention is not to be restricted. The right is reserved to make suchchanges or alterations as the actual reduction to practice may suggest,in so far as such changes or altera tions are compatible in spirit withthe annexed claim. I

In the accompanying drawings:

fieferring to the drawings, there is shown a tablet comprising astiffening back 1 on which are attached a plurality of superposed sheets2. The stiffening back 1 is increased in length over the sheets asufficient-amount to permit the placement on the stiffening backadjacent the upper end of preferably paste board box 3 whose length isthe width of the tablet and whose height is equal to the combinedthickness of the superposed sheets.

A binding 4: is glued or otherwise suitably attached on the stiffeningback on the rear face thereof carried around and secured in the samemanner to one side of box 3 and then folded onto and secured in the sameway on the outer face of a cover flap 5, the latter being adapted forturning down against the uppermost sheet 2 when it acts bination with astiffening back and a plurality of superposed sheets mounted thereon,

' of a box secured to the said back and against one end of thesuperposed sheets, the box beingopen on that face lying in the plane ofthe uppermost sheet, and a cover flap having means for securing it tothe back and tothe box, whereby the cover fiap may be folded downagainst the uppermost sheet to close the box or thrown back to exposethe sheet and open the box, the box being adapted to receive a pen orpencil.

In testimony whereof I afiix m si nature.
